Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to design automation processes."
"The solution is very good. It's very full. You can do almost anything."
"I like how fast I can develop an application and put it in production with PowerApps. I think the integration is also excellent. The platforms is growing, so they are constantly adding more connectors on all these things."
"The most valuable feature is the time-to-market because you can make apps pretty fast."
"I have found the technical support to be helpful."
"We like that this solution allows us to fully define our test environments, and link them using different code. This means we can do different tests, but with one basic structure, and then export the data and use it in other platforms."
"Can design apps quickly and can connect to any database."
"For our purposes, it is quite scalable."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible and powerful solution. I like the tool's advanced modification feature which helps to modify its layout and setup scripts."
"Zoho Creator is easy to design and accessible for any business purpose. The solution is priced low and helps you meet business requirements. You can write a script based on requirements and trigger it whereby the customer will receive notifications. It is a customizable application."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages. With Zoho Creator, users have the ability to utilize HTML and CSS to create visually appealing pages that are rich in information, utilizing data from the system itself. This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"The product’s MIS feature is very valuable to us."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily."
"Technical support could be faster, and more accurate."
"One area where the solution lacks is the limited size of the database it offers its users."
"As far as dealing with SharePoint, it'll allow you to ha manage up to 2000 rows, however, performance-wise, they're recommending that you just keep it at the default of 500 rows."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"I would like to have more options for changing the layout because customizing something as simple as colors is very hard."
"The connectors are the main components that reference the data sources, and these need to be improved."
"When we talk of integrating with external applications, that's one area where, even today, I had to loop in my code developers. If this area can be streamlined so that my techno-functional consultants, who are on-site, can immediately start working on something without the assistance of developers, that would be ideal."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see custom APIs, better integration with other solutions, and more connectors available."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls."
"Zoho Creator could benefit from improvement in regard to the user interface and user experience of the forms. The forms themselves could benefit from being made more interactive, with increased flexibility and customization options for both developers and users. This would allow for a more engaging experience when interacting with the forms and provide more opportunities for customization to meet individual needs and preferences."
